The Crow (2024) Breakdown & End Explained – Does the Film Live Up to the Franchise Standard?
Director Rupert Sanders knows that “The Crow,” his third film, will inevitably be viewed through the spectrum of nostalgia for the 1994 cult hit.
"I just wanted to make something," he says. "I knew there would be people who didn't want it. But I didn't record on someone's VHS — that film is still there and those people are still going to love that film."
Still, Sanders is confident in his new vision of the antihero. In his film, Eric (Bill Skarsgård) and his fiancée Shelly (FKA Twigs) are murdered by crime boss Vincent Roeg (Danny Huston). However, Eric is given the chance to walk the Earth again as a powerful, dark vigilante known as The Crow and exact revenge by killing everyone in Roeg’s organization.
